Please describe the blue

Post by ronstew »

It is hard to tell what colour the blue Paso is from pictures on the web. Seems middling-to-light blue. I am guessing gloss, not metallic.

Experts?

Hey Ron

Do you want a color code, would that help? I have a can that I had color-matched to the bike itself (light-gunned a mirror/turn-signal pod @ an auto-paint shop), so I could give you those numbers.

Otherwise, take a subjective description for what it's worth ... I wouldn't call it a "light" blue by any means. It's a rich median blue - gloss, you're correct, and not metallic.

Here are two pictures of my bike, taken the same day only from different angles. In the first it seems the blue is pretty light, but that's just the angle of the camera & a reflection of the sun:

This one is closer to the real color of the bike, but still not quite right - it's almost a little too dark - judging by my monitor, anyway - it might look completely different on your monitor, too:

Again, let me know if you need/want actually paint codes
Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.
